Fucking hell, if I spent $230 on a goddamn toothbrush, I’d expect that thing to last me for a lifetime.

No toothbrush will last a lifetime, so don’t put $400 in it

That has definitely been my strategy, yeah. It’s just such a wild discrepancy to the handful of dollars you spend on a perfectly serviceable hand-operated brush.

Unfortunately, there are many plastic toothbrushes that are lasting lifetimes in our landfills. Once I learned that, I switched to eco-friendly ones. There just isn’t a need for a smart/ai toothbrush, IMO.
